For over 25 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.  Join us for a presentation on the concept and the history and development of Community Supported Agriculture by three local farmers - Elad Sadeh of Bee Fields Farm, Gene Jonas of Hungry Bear Farm, Tom Mitchell of Ledge Top Farm, and Kris Mossey of MacLeod Farm   - and learn the advantages of eating locally-grown and harvested food and gain an overview of the different CSA models.

This month our selection is Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed.

"A powerful, blazingly honest, inspiring memoir: the story of a 1,100 mile solo hike that broke down a young woman from catastrophe -- and built her back up again."   Random House.  

Copies are available at the Circulation Desk. Newcomers are always welcome.

This month we are reading and discussing Tinkers by Paul Harding
An old man lies dying. Propped up in his living room and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, George Washington Crosby drifts in and out of consciousness, back to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in Maine. As the clock repairer's time winds down, his memories intertwine with those of his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler and his grandfather, a Methodist preacher beset by madness. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, illness, faith, and the fierce beauty of nature.
